Recordables don't always increase because of unsafe work practices. Sometimes they increase because the right information isn't reaching the right people.

A strong culture of communication helps organizations overcome this challenge by identifying risks earlier and building trust between employees and leadership.

For HR and safety leaders, communication isn't a soft skill. It's a business strategy that directly impacts employee well-being and injury outcomes.

Read our latest article from Fit For Work Injury Prevention Specialist, Cory Viveiros, on why communication is a critical component of injury prevention.
